The Mendham boys distance medley relay team had one thing in mind when it took the line to run at Saturday's Dodgertown Relays in Madison.
Run fast!!
They sure did!!!
How fast?
How about a NJ#1 US#10 10:19.08 to win the race by 26 seconds over Mountain Lakes.
That's more than 15 seconds faster then Mendham ran last week when they went 10:34.21 to win the DMR at the Summit Relays.
Princeton-bound Jack Stanley got things rolling for Mendham on Saturday with a 3:05 and change 1,200m carry. Senior Tucker Ward followed with a 52 point quarter leg. Junior Sam Marran then split 2:02 and change for 800, and junior Jack Jennings finished it off with a 4:19 point anchor leg.
Mendham's 10:19.08 is just of its school record of 10:17.83 it ran to place sixth at the Penn Relays last year.
Mendham also won the 4x800 in 8:06.06 as Jennings, Stanley, Marran, and Ryan Kear shared the baton. That's just off its NJ#5 8:05.66 that Mendham ran at the Summit Relays.
